Wow, that's damn nice. And we could use my just-an-array idea from above:
sub rand_element (\@); @array = ([1,2], [3,4], [5,6]); # etc... ($k,$v) = rand_element(@array); sub rand_element (\@) { my $aref = shift; my $idx = rand @$aref; my ($k,$v) = @{ $aref->[$idx] }; my $last = pop @$aref; $aref->[$idx] = $last if $idx < @$aref; return ($k,$v); }
Thank you muchly, tye. I need to ++ YOU, not your node...
